Full method & limits

Key Features

Document Structure Preserved

Heading levels, paragraphs, ordered and unordered lists, block quotes, code blocks, tables, and horizontal rules are carried into the PDF instead of being flattened into one block of text.

Embedded PNG and JPEG Images Kept

Images embedded in the .docx file are decoded and drawn into the PDF as real images — not replaced by placeholder text. Only PNG and JPEG are supported; see the FAQ for the formats that are not.

Page Setup Before You Convert

Choose A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape, body font size, page margin, and whether to show page numbers in the footer.

Real Text, Not a Screenshot

The PDF is typeset with a real text layer, so you can select, copy, and search the words in any PDF reader.

Modern .docx Files

Works with .docx from Word 2007 and later, Google Docs, and LibreOffice. The older .doc, .odt, and .rtf formats are not supported.

Private & Local

Conversion runs in your browser. Your document is not uploaded as part of this conversion, and images referenced by external web links are never fetched.

How to Use

1

Add your .docx file

Drag and drop or select one Word document. Files exported from Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice work best.

2

Adjust the page setup

Pick the paper size, orientation, font size, and margin, and decide whether page numbers appear in the footer. The defaults are fine for most documents.

3

Convert and check the result

Run the conversion and download the PDF, then check your tables and images before sharing it.

Word to PDF Example

A two-page .docx report with headings, a bulleted list, a table, and one embedded screenshot becomes a searchable PDF that keeps the structure and the screenshot.

DOCX
quarterly-report.docx (2 pages, 1 embedded PNG)

A Word 2007+ document with heading levels, a list, a table, and an embedded PNG screenshot.

PDF
quarterly-report-converted.pdf

A PDF with selectable text, the original heading hierarchy, the table, and the screenshot drawn as an image.

How to Convert Word to PDF

How to Convert Word to PDF

This tool opens a .docx file in your browser and typesets it into a PDF. It preserves document structure and embedded images, and it produces a real text layer so the output stays searchable.

Quick Answer

Add your .docx file, choose the page setup if the defaults do not suit you, run the conversion, and download the PDF. Nothing is uploaded.

Steps

  1. Add a .docx file. Word 2007 and later, Google Docs, and LibreOffice exports all work.
  2. Optionally set the paper size, orientation, font size, margin, and page numbers.
  3. Run the conversion.
  4. Download the PDF and check your tables and images before sharing it.

What Is Preserved, and What Is Not

The conversion works on the document's structure rather than on a rendered picture of it. That is what makes the text layer real, and it also defines the limits.

  • Preserved — heading levels, paragraphs, ordered and unordered lists, block quotes, code blocks, tables, horizontal rules, and embedded PNG or JPEG images.
  • Not preserved — fonts, colors, multi-column layouts, the exact position of images relative to surrounding text, Word headers and footers, comments, and tracked changes.

Images: PNG and JPEG Only

Embedded PNG and JPEG images are decoded and drawn into the PDF. Other formats are not: GIF and BMP have no matching way to embed them here, and EMF or WMF — the vector formats Office commonly uses for charts and diagrams — cannot be decoded by a browser at all. If your document contains an Office chart, expect that image to be missing while everything else converts normally. The conversion does not fail because of an unsupported image.

Why There Is No Page Range

A Word document has no fixed page numbers until it is laid out onto paper. The page count depends on the paper size, orientation, font size, and margin you pick here, so a page range cannot be known in advance. The tool converts the whole document in one pass.

When to Use Word's Own Export Instead

If you need a pixel-perfect match to the original — exact fonts, colors, multi-column flow, and image placement — use Export or Save As PDF inside Word itself. Use this tool when the structure and the text layer matter more than an exact visual match, or when you would rather not install or sign in to anything.

Check Before You Share

Open the PDF and check the heading hierarchy, table column alignment, and that the images you expected are present. Complex tables and documents that lean heavily on floating images are the most likely to need a quick review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this Word to PDF tool do?

It opens a .docx file in your browser and typesets it into a PDF. Document structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables, and rules — is preserved, embedded PNG and JPEG images are drawn into the output, and the result has a real text layer you can select and search.

Which Word formats are supported?

Only .docx, the format used by Word 2007 and later, and the same format that Google Docs and LibreOffice export. The older binary .doc format, .odt, and .rtf are not supported. If you have one of those, open it in Word or LibreOffice and use Save As to produce a .docx file first.

Will my images be preserved?

Embedded PNG and JPEG images are preserved. Images stored as GIF, BMP, EMF, or WMF are not carried over — this includes many charts and diagrams produced by Office, which are often stored as EMF or WMF and cannot be decoded by a browser. When an image cannot be used, that position is left out and the rest of the document still converts normally; the conversion does not fail.

Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?

No. The conversion reproduces the document's structure, not a pixel-perfect page. Fonts, colors, multi-column layouts, the exact position of images relative to text, Word headers and footers, comments, and tracked changes are not reproduced. If you need an exact visual match, use Word's own Export to PDF.

Can I convert only part of the document?

No. This tool converts the whole document in one pass. There is no page range, because a Word document does not have fixed page numbers until it is laid out — the page count depends on the paper size and font size you choose here.

Can I search or copy text in the output PDF?

Yes. The PDF is typeset with a real text layer rather than being rendered as a screenshot, so text is selectable, copyable, and searchable.

Can I convert several files at once?

Not yet. One file per run.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The document is read and converted in your browser, and it is not uploaded as part of this conversion. Images in the document that point at external web addresses are skipped rather than fetched, so no request is made to a third party while converting.
